34. Jesus saw that the man answered him wisely. So Jesus said to him, “You are close to the kingdom of God.” And after that, no one was brave enough to ask Jesus any more questions.
35. Jesus was teaching in the Temple. He asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Christ is the son of David?
36. David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, said:‘The Lord said to my Lord:Sit by me at my right side,until I put your enemies under your control.’ Psalm 110:1
37. David himself calls the Christ ‘Lord.’ So how can the Christ be David’s son?” The large crowd listened to Jesus with pleasure.
38. Jesus continued teaching. He said, “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around wearing clothes that look important. And they love for people to show respect to them in the marketplaces.
39. They love to have the most important seats in the synagogues. And they love to have the most important seats at the feasts.
